Just need to vent...

...so if I see green eyed red headed six year old wandering the streets, I should NOT call the po-po????

 

This is getting ridiculousness; why even bother with a generic description like that. All that's going to do is flood the tip lines with BS calls. If they wanted REAL results, give a more accurate description.

Just my 2-cents.

 

AI summary of your post:
The post criticizes generic AI-generated captions for news photos as meaningless and unhelpful, suggesting it's better to omit them if they don't provide specific information. It argues that such captions undermine web accessibility standards meant to convey meaningful information.

 

Seems like nearly ½ the photos and videos available online nowadays are AI generated in whole or in part

 

Shhhhhhhhhh..... Skynet is listening!!!!!!

 

Used to be if there was a photo with the article, you knew darn well that it was taken by the reporter who was interviewing the parties involved or perhaps a staff photographer if the paper was doing well. You could believe it was taken at the date and time that it was happening and it served as evidence. About the time that the news cycle became 24 hour I noticed most of the pictures now consist of stock images. They are crafted, edited, and composited with the people in the photograph either doing something or having facial expressions depicting their intended demeanor as determined by the reporter, the editor, or maybe someone willing to pay for a certain tilt to the newsworthy information. They can't get away with much in a video, which is by far the most popular way of reporting now. There is bias in video reporting too. It takes me longer now to get the straight story, and sometimes takes several days. We are witnessing the slow death of good journalism.

 

.....SLOW?!

 

IMHO; Good journalism requires editors and fact-checking. With current "news" cycle, neither is done. Anyone that has a social media account can claim to be a journalist. Once a bogus story is exposed - the damage has already been done. It's been retweeted and likely takes on a life of it's own. Conspiracy theorist will eat that crap up and point to it as so-called evidence that they're correct.

YMMV
